in her regular clothes and pushed the soft silk material into her drawer. Her fingers pressed the softness, and the hope that was bought with the garment was gone. Nothing had ended the way that it was supposed to.
    Meeka called her mother and told her that she was going to come pick up the kids.
    “You don’t have to come this early. We are just now having breakfast and Dad was talking about taking the boat out. It is such a pretty day and you know how he likes the boat. Malik said something about learning to fish and now he won’t let it be.”
    “That sounds like fun. Are you sure? I know they can wear you out.”
    “Really, come later when we get back, baby. You two have fun.”
    “I don’t think that's going to happen, but thanks Mom.”
    Meeka turned the phone off and after a minute, decided to go to the store. She had to do something to take her mind off of what was going on in her marriage and the fact that her husband was still MIA. She tried not to imagine him in some woman’s arms. Marla came to mind and she tried to push the thoughts away. It did no good to think such negative thoughts.
    Pushing through the door and turning the key to lock it behind her, Meeka was shocked to find two police men getting out of their car. The police cruiser was parked behind hers and for a moment, she paused as they walked towards her. She waited until they reached her, the breath trapped in her lungs and unable to come out.
    “Can I help you?”
    “Mrs. Rogers?”
    “Yes, sir.”
    “There has been an incident and we need to ask you a few questions.”
    “Incident? What incident?”
    “Your husband is in the hospital. Did you know that, ma’am?”
    “No I haven’t seen him since late last night. He left here upset and he didn’t come home.”
    “He's in a coma at Westland Hospital. It appears that he was assaulted by several assailants and we are trying to piece together what happened. Does your husband have any enemies?”
    “Is he okay? Oh my God, I have to go. Can’t this wait till later?”
    “No, ma’am, we need to find who did this to him sooner rather than later. He is in real bad condition and we don’t know if he is going to wake up. I want to catch who did this to him. Rick saved my boy’s life a few years back after he had a car crash and I want to know who did this.”
    “No, but he did have an altercation with a guy a few minutes before he left. He hit him a couple of times, but nothing serious. The guy took off and that was the end of it.”
    “Do you know who this person is?”
    “Yes, it was someone I used to work with. We, ah… were friends.”
    “I see, and your husband found you at home with your friend and they got into a fight?”
    “Yes, sir.”
    “Name?”
    “Johnny Hayes.”
    “Do you know where he lives?”
    “I used to. I can give you his old address if you want.”
    The tall blonde cop shook his head and his eyes seemed to bore into hers. Meeka’s cheeks reddened as he made comments like it was all so clear what had happened. She dug into her purse and took out her phone, finding the contact information that they wanted.
    “Can I go now? I need to see if he's okay.”
    The officer nodded, but she still had to wait for them to pull out from behind her vehicle. They followed her for quite some time, but Meeka was more focused on what was in front of her. Her mind raced and she just prayed that he would be okay. She couldn’t imagine Johnny doing something like that, but she wasn’t so sure anymore. He wanted her and maybe he had tried to get rid of her husband. She gasped. She really hoped that it wasn’t because of what she had said to him. Meeka almost called him, but couldn’t bring herself to. Not until she knew that Rick was going to be okay.
    “He has to be okay.”
    Meeka kept repeating that to herself as she drove to the town over. There was a question in her mind about why he was there, but her focus was only on seeing Rick. Everything else could be figured
